    I can buy the type I want online pretty easily, but I don't want to expend the money on the prices that people are asking. Maybe one day I might, but I'm in no rush.

    Preferably one with manners. When I showed those cuffs on another website one user was extremely tactless and rude. I stopped listening to him after his second post and got most of my information from another member who was a collector of antique police equipment.

    If I ever get the chance, I'd like to buy a pair of snap-lock darbies, instead of these screw-lock ones, but beggars can't be choosers.

    How to Date Cufflinks?

    Older links tend to be chain-links, don't they? Not swivel-bar ones. Or they're the two-piece design, which come apart in the middle and snap together. I have a pair of 9kt gold links I bought at a flea-market. I was told they were Edwardian. I have a few other old links (none of them full...

    What do you use to shave?

    Your body clock sounds like it's a few hours fast. Better go to the doctor for a checkup.

    How's this for a thrift-shop find? Bought today for $25. Topside: Underside: Front: Back: Manufacturer: T(homas) Gaunt. Optician. Melbourne & Sydney. Thomas Gaunt lived from 1829-1890. His shop ran from about 1856 until 1890. It continued after he died, but I'm not sure when the...

    Need sleeve garters- but what color?

    Most sleeve-garters I've seen are black, or silver/steel. If you want yellow-coloured ones, I wonder if it's possible to buy brass ones? Because gold-plated ones would wear off in no-time, and then you'd just be left with steel or brass base-metal, anyway.

    1930s Berlin

    Wasn't there a film made in...1927 I think it was...which was basically a tour around all of Berlin? I think it was mentioned somewhere on this forum about a year ago. But I don't remember the details.

    What do you use to shave?

    I have a small collection of razors. I typically use a no-name German Solingen razor which I bought at the flea-market for $5. It's an old straight-razor and despite the fact that it cost me almost nothing, it's consistently given me the best shaves I've ever had.
